spat and spat is a popular expression of the Portuguese language, used to describe two identical people or very similar physically.
Many believe that the expression "spit and spat" is wrong and arose from the misuse of the expression "carved and embodied".
There is an equivalent expression in the English language which is "spitting image" (the literal translation being "spit image"): He is the spitting image of his father - He is the spat and spitting father.
expression source
"Spitting and spitting", an expression that serves to indicate the similarity between two people, has more than one known origin. Some authors claim that the original expression would be "carved and incarnated", that is, someone has the form of another, and was also incarnated, that is, has life.
An alternative and less credible origin appears with the expression "carrara carved". Carrara is an Italian marble, often used to make statues and busts. These sculptures looked very similar to the person in question, so when two people were very similar, one was said to have been "carved in carrara". Over time this expression degenerated, emerging the expression spit and spit.
However, there is a fact that indicates that the expression "spit and spit" did not come from "carved and incarnate” and not from “carrara”, but from the verb to spit itself, reinforced by the synonym spit. The remote origin of the expression is then in the symbology of the spit. This is because in other languages, where there are equivalent expressions that are also related to spit, as you can see in the English expression, discussed above. What happened in the case of the Portuguese language was the addition of “spit” to the expression “spit”, a reinforcement that was not found in other languages.
